Blabber on like a homer how great Troy was if you wish. In the meantime there were a half dozen (or more) other QBs who could have won 3 superbowls with the 90's dynasty team. Nevermind if he protected the ball we'd have never lost to SF and Switzer would have 2 rings.

If you are going to complain about a game Aikman played, don't you think you should pick one other than the game he threw for what 450 yards and almost brought us all the way back?

He threw the INT to start the game but it was hardly his fault the next two TDs were scored as they were on fumbles on players OTHER than Aikman (Martin and Irvin I think).

No, but he did want to make sure we got him after gonzalez. He thought he was the super player we needed to win it again. On another one, how about the view of most ppl. that think that Troy retired due to concussions. It had to do with multiple injuries, the back mostly, and the Salary cap versus how bad we sucked at that point. Whats the use of having a ferrari if u can't afford the gas?

Dude, you could not be more wrong about Troy Aikman. You spout out all you want how half dozen or more QBs could have won those 3 Superbowls all you want.

You know what though, the Hall of Fame welcomes all Cowboys with open arms (Sarcasm) and you can write it in stone that Troy Aikman will be a first ballot inductee.

If any of what you said was actually true the media would be all over it and Troy would have a snow balls chance in Hades of making it to the Hall on the first ballot.

The dude was an all time great QB. Yeah, there were better but you know what I dont care about that. He is going to be recognized for what he was and that was one of the best QBs in the history of the game.

You can hate and speculate all you want, but the facts are on Troy's side not yours.

its just plain stupid to say basically anyone would have led this team to 3 super bowls..almost as stupid as Jones saying "any of 500 coahces could win a championship"

From the handling of the Henson affair and now this.

Forgive me, but I take his comments to be exactly what they are...the views of an outsider who has no clue what he was talking about.

Troy was a good player for us, but hardly a one-man wrecking crew on offense. Had we not caved in to his every whim, we may never have drafted Lafluer or traded TWO ones for Galloway.

Dieon Sanders is the one that talked Jerry into going after Galloway, NOT Aikman. Go back and look at Galloway's press conference if you don't believe me and damn that Aikman for not knowing Lafluer would have a career ending back injury. Who cares what Aikman thinks? What the hell has he ever done for us?

Sorry David but Jerry proved that 500 coach thing with Switzer.

David

who said "basically anyone"?


Montana/Young
Elway
Marino
Moon
Kelly
Favre

as stated above Switzer proved Jerruh correct (at the expense of the franchise for the next decade)
